As our Senior RF/Microwave Design Engineer, your job is to develop the world's next generation of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave circuit and system designs, supporting applications ranging from quantum computing to deep space, aerospace, defense, and advanced test systems.
Here's What You'll Be Doing:
- Architecting, designing, developing, building, and testing RF and microwave solutions for next-generation aerospace, space, defense, test, and quantum computing systems.
- Designing and developing solutions ranging from modules and circuit cards to subsystems and systems operating to 50 GHz and beyond.
- Designing DROs (Dielectric Resonator Oscillators), crystal oscillators, extremely low-noise time/frequency sources, LNAs (Low Noise Amplifiers), amplifiers, filters, frequency mixers, frequency multipliers, PLLs, up/down converters, synthesizers, reference generators, IMAs (Integrated Microwave Assemblies), and subassemblies.
- Working with leading aerospace, space, defense, test, and quantum computing customers to understand needs and requirements and decompose them into product architecture, design, and performance specifications.
- Architecting solutions, creating block diagrams, developing compliance matrices, designing circuits, supporting PCB layout and hardware builds, and leading testing, debugging, integration, and verification/validation.
- Working with a small engineering and development team focused on delivering high-performing RF/microwave products.
- Leading and/or supporting customer SRRs (System Requirements Reviews), PDRs (Preliminary Design Reviews), CDRs (Critical Design Reviews), and TRRs (Test Readiness Reviews).
- Ensuring final verification and validation of designs and successful delivery of customer requirements.
- Testing, debugging, troubleshooting, performing root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions.
- Developing and documenting procedures and processes to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
- Developing project plans and managing work to cost and schedule.
- Participating in and staying current with RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave industry trends, technologies, and breakthroughs.
What We're Looking for in Our Senior RF/Electronics Design Engineer:
- Minimum BSEE or equivalent; MSEE or equivalent preferred.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave design and development, with the ability to design with minimal direction.
- Extensive experience with RF/microwave circuits, subsystems, and systems.
- Experience with RF chain analysis.
- Experience with RF/microwave test equipment, processes, test procedures, testing, and debug.
- Experience designing military, aerospace, or space-grade hardware.
- Experience with EMI/EMC analysis and practices and IPC standards.
- Exposure to RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave manufacturing technologies, including chip and wire, SMT, hybrids, die attach, wire bonding, and hermetic versus non-hermetic modules for IMAs/MICs.
- Experience with PCB layouts, including tools such as Altium.
- Experience with requirements/specification management and decomposition.
- Experience converting customer needs and requirements into successfully delivered solutions on time and within budget.
- Experience leading small engineering and development teams.
- Experience managing projects to schedule and cost.
- Experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Atlassian Jira/Confluence.
Skills & Qualifications You Need:
- RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave design, development, test, and debug.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Self-motivated, multitasking, and detail-oriented.
- Strong prioritization skills and the ability to thrive in high-pressure situations.
- Collaborative approach and strong logical problem-solving skills, with the ability to tackle customer challenges.
- Strong ethical standards.
- Ability to lead small engineering and development teams and work effectively across functions.
